Chapter 153: Chapter 118: Judging Dieter_2
```
However, since the Tax Bureau's armed incident made the news today, the discussion around David's name instantly became the hottest topic within the internal system of the Tax Bureau.
Many inspectors and the high-level officials from various state bureaus and the headquarters started to carefully review David's profile.
But they soon discovered that David's excellence was not a matter of just one assessment period.
Already in the previous assessment period, and even the one before that, David had firmly secured his position as the top inspector in Las Vegas.
Afterward, with his outstanding performance, he earned a direct promotion akin to Bellamy Hadith and Brown Soros, advancing to the position of Chief Tax Officer.
And it's important to point out that the platform in Las Vegas is far from being as significant as the super cities where Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros are based, such as New York Los Angeles!
Yet even so, David managed to work his way up to the position of Chief Tax Officer, relying solely on his own abilities, without the aid of any platform!
At this moment, inspectors across the country as well as many high-level officials from state bureaus and the headquarters felt that David's abilities definitely exceeded what they had seen so far!
If he were given an even higher platform, he might very well be on the same level as Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros, and he might even surpass those two!

Apartments in the Lake District.
"Father, the Tax Bureau's armament really is extraordinary, they actually have things like a fighter jet squadron, and this is just the military strength of one state!"
"Considering that they have an armed base in every state, there are a total of 50 states across the country, their strength is unfathomable..."
On the balcony, Selina, clad in a light nightgown, had a profound look in her eyes and held an Apple iPhone while talking.
After a pause, a deep voice came through the phone,"That's why I told you going to the Tax Bureau was the safest option. After this incident, those people won't dare to make a move on you so recklessly, especially now that they've seen what happens to anyone who dares to touch someone from the Tax Bureau!"
Selina nodded and replied, "Father, the Tax Bureau has power and authority, money and such a formidable armed force; it's a good blade. If we could use it for our own purposes, then perhaps we would have the strength to fight against those people!"
"You're thinking too much, Selina. The Tax Bureau is not so easily controlled. Since its establishment by Lincoln, it has been the most unique institution in America; no single force has ever truly controlled it, not even those people!"
The words coming from the phone caused Selina's eyes to dim slightly, but then she seemed to think of something and asked,"Father, what do you think about David?"
"David? The one who commanded the scene after the Tax Bureau's armed deployment today? Oh right, he is also your superior..."
"Yes, this person has talent and potential. I think in time, he is very likely to enter the headquarters and ascend to a high position. If we can control him, maybe we could eventually indirectly control the Tax Bureau!"
"Oh?"
The voice on the phone responded with surprise, obviously intrigued by Selina's words, and then continued,"Tell me more about him..."
"Based on my observations these past days, this man not only has ability but is also incredibly ruthless.
In this case, the Indian Tribe sought help from a deputy mayor to negotiate, but it seems they offended David, and he simply took down the deputy mayor, locking him up in detention overnight, causing the entire city hall to be in a state of panic, to the extent that they did not dare enter the Tax Bureau's door when they came to pick him up..."
"What, really?"
The man on the other end of the phone was clearly unaware of this matter and was startled.
"That's not all; I also heard that before I arrived, some CIA personnel somehow offended him, and they were also thrown into detention. In the end, the CIA didn't dare let out even a peep!"
"CIA..."
Selina's words had clearly taken the man on the phone by surprise again, as his breathing became noticeably heavier.
It took quite some time before the voice came back,"From what you've told me, either the deputy mayor or the CIA must have been caught in something very incriminating by this David, otherwise, given the CIA's style, they would not have stayed silent!"
```
"So I'm saying David is really capable; he seems to be able to clarify the evidence in every single case. If he goes after those people, then they are in for a serious headache. After all, when it comes to tax evasion, no one in America has evaded more taxes than them!"
"Makes sense... In that case, Selina, find some time to have dinner with him or something, chat him up, see if there's a possibility for further developments!"
"Understood, father!"
"It's getting late; you should rest, and we'll keep in touch!"
After hanging up the phone, Selina's expression deepened as she picked up the red wine from the table and took a sip, the wine staining her red lips. Bathed in moonlight, wearing her thin nightgown, she looked irresistibly alluring.
...
The next day, at the Las Vegas Tax Bureau city office.
According to the regulations of the Tax Bureau, the city office generally is not responsible for the tax revenue collection from the areas below the city. Its duties mainly involve overseeing the tax revenue submitted by the various district offices and managing personnel promotions and transfers among these district offices.
At ten in the morning, a succession of cars entered the city office's parking lot.
City Hall officials, municipal council members, and some influential members of the Las Vegas political and business circles stepped out of the vehicles, heading toward the city office's entrance.
The many media reporters who had been waiting eagerly began to wield their microphones, searching for people to interview.
"Senator Angstorm, what are your thoughts on the trial taking place today?"
"Deputy Mayor Meredith, this case involves the Indian Tribe. What impact might it have on Las Vegas?"
"Deputy Mayor Gray, I heard you visited the Tax Bureau a few days ago, and rumors are that it was related to the Dieter case. You didn't come out until the next day. Can you tell us what happened inside?"
The Tax Bureau's exclusive courthouse is located within the city office.
And today's trial against Dieter and his associates was exactly what was taking place here.
"Director David is here!"
While the media reporters were catching Las Vegas's dignitaries for questions, suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted this.
Immediately, the reporters disregarded everything else and rushed toward David.
Because David was the commander in charge of the case, chasing after David for details was, of course, preferable to questioning the mayors and council members.
"Director David, besides Dieter, who else is targeted in this trial?"
"Director David, considering the many crimes Dieter has committed, could he be sentenced to death?"
"Director David..."
Facing the barrage of questions from the media reporters, David pressed his hands down and said, "As for how Dieter will be sentenced, that's the judge's call, my job was simply to apprehend them. If you want to know more, wait for the official report later!"
David wasn't very fond of dealing with the media. They were not only bothersome, but they always liked to exaggerate his responses to gain viewership. With this, he walked toward the city office's lobby.
Upon entering the lobby, he found that William and Megan, the chief and deputy chief inspectors, had already arrived and were chatting with some leaders from the city office.
Noticing David's entrance, the keen-eyed William immediately waved him over and said, "David, come here for a moment!"
David promptly approached, and William introduced him to a man around 50 years old, saying, "Director Arabella, this is our Director David!"
